Fennel and Sausage Bucatini Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Place a large pot of water on to boil for pasta. Salt water and add bucatini and cook to al dente.
  • While water comes to boil and pasta cooks, make the sauce.
  • Heat a large, deep nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add about 1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive oil
  • Add sausage to the skillet and break up the sausage into small bits.
  • Brown sausage all over then transfer to a paper towel lined plate.
  • Return pan to heat and add 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan, the garlic, fennel, onions and peppers.
  • Season the vegetables with salt and pepper
  • Cook, turning frequently, 7 to 8 minutes until tender but do not allow the fennel and onions to brown – reduce heat a bit if they begin to.
  • Stir in the tomatoes and the sausage. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until pasta is done.
  • Drain the pasta very well and add to the sauce
  • Sprinkle the pasta with 1/2 cup cheese, a couple of handfuls, then toss pasta with sauce to combine.
  • Transfer pasta to a large shallow platter and cover with the pasta with basil leaves
  • Serve with extra cheese and pass crusty bread at the table to mop up the plates.
